Larry Fitzgerald: No explanation needed.Patrick Willis: I love Wagner, but Willis is the best in the business.Justin Smith: Pure beast. Imagine the 4 man rotation of Big Red, Irvin, Clemons and Smith. Plus he could play DT in passing situations.Vernon Davis: I like Miller, but Davis is dynamic.Whoever the best tackle is: to replace Giacommini

The only person I would think about taking from other teams, because replacing the player we have would hurt the dynamic of this defense would be Aldon Smith.. Irvin, Clemons and Smith would be devastating..

Which is why I am loving the idea of drafting another pass rusher this offseason.

Granted I know he's not a type 5 type player but I'm suprised nobody has included Greg Zuerlein on their list! That kid's leg is a beast! He definitely can turn the tide of a game as he show cased against us.

Some of these lists just go to show how good the D-lines are in our division. Justin Smith, Dockett, Long, Aldon Smith, Campbell... Even with our awesome front four you'd make room for any of those guys.

Our defense is already borderline elite, and this list had four more defenders, but that's where all the strength is in this division. Plus, Fitzgerald alone would put this offense over the top. Flynn would look amazing throwing to him.

Campbell is like Red Bryant with a very good, very consistent pass rush ability. He'd instantly add 6-8 sacks to this defense without giving up much against the run.

Willis is the best 4-3 linebacker in the NFL and Seattle could use another good one, so this is a no brainer.

Fitzgerald is killing me this year in fantasy, but this is obviously a no-brainer. He'd probably fair about as well as Rice in our current offense though.

Joe Staley might be the best tackle in the division. I like Breno, but our offense can't handle his mistakes right now. This is a big enough upgrade to justify making the list.

I'm surprised that I'm the first to name Zuerlein. Hauschka is good, but Zuerlein is unreal and his range changes field position strategy tremendously. Are you in opponent territory? Then you should expect to score if you have Zuerlein on your team.

I was a HUGE fan of Peterson in the draft: I said he was the top player in 2011 over Cam Newton. But we have two top 10 CBs already (per PFF), and I doubt Peterson would thrive as much in our press system. We don't need him as a KR either. I'm not sure he's an upgrade for us, and if he is, it's by very little. That probably explains the scarcity, even if Peterson has a bright future.

i'd rather have quinn than aldon smith. aldon smith has 4.5 sacks this season, but his consistency of pressuring qb's has gone down since being named starter. he pressured at a much higher rate last season.
